Steps
In large skillet over medium heat, fully cook the ground beef. Drain the excess grease.
Add the cooked beef to the slow cooker insert, then add the diced onion, minced garlic, broth, marinara, diced tomatoes, dried basil, dried parsley, onion powder, oregano, dried rosemary and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6-8 hours or High for 3-4 hours.
When you have 30 minutes left in the cooking time, stir in the broken lasagna noodles. Cover and continue to cook for 30-45 minutes, until the noodles are done to your liking. Thirty minutes on high was perfect for us.
At the end of cooking time, stir in the balsamic vinegar and grated parmesan and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately topped with mozzarella, ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and eat within 4 days.

Stephen on 2026-04-02 (5 stars): This was awesome and so easy. Im going to tell all my friends about. Love it
Scott S on 2026-01-07 (5 stars): Easy recipe and delicious!
Don’t forget the Ricotta and the Mozzarella when serving !
Linda Benton on 2025-12-27 (5 stars): I made this for Christmas Day lunch for a crowd! It was a HUGE hit and not a drop was left in my pot.
I modified it in a few ways:
I used a spicy marinara sauce (Botticelli Spicy Italian Marinara)
I used 2 cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes
I added 2 extra cups of chicken broth...meat lovers may not like it so LEAN!
I substituted lasagne noodles with penne pasta which I cooked separately and drizzled with olive oil...added at the end to prevent soaking up broth and getting mushy.
I substituted cottage cheese for ricotta (I promise it's delicious and I don't even like cottage cheese!).
I added half a bag of baby spinach 10 minutes before serving. Easy way to get veggies in!
I added 1/2-3/4 cup of half and half at the end.
Everyone asked for the recipe! Thanks for the inpiration!

Stephanie Hitchcock on 2025-11-12 (5 stars): This recipe is amazing and so easy to make. I added some heavy cream at the end to thicken it up a little and I feel like it was a solid addition to recipe. This will be a regular in our home!
Christian on 2025-11-11 (5 stars): I've used my 15 year old slow cooker only to make beef stew up until now. This lasagne soup has become a favorite of mine.
